The Velocity Invitational made an impressive debut this past weekend at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. 

Staged by the team that was responsible for the 2019 Sonoma Speed Festival, the Velocity Invitational drew the Mercedes 300 SLR once driven by Stirling Moss, featured McLaren F1 and drew an audience of more than 10,000 people to the track and another 600,000 viewers on a YouTube streaming syndicated by none other than Goodwood Road & Racing.

Oh, and in addition to all sorts of historic racing cars, the event was a multi-day festival of food and wine.

“We have all missed racing and seeing these extraordinary and rare cars in the past year,” event founder and O’Neill Win chief executive Jeff O’Neill said when the Velocity Invitational was announced in May. “So we’ve decided to make up for lost time with an event that is sure to please both drivers and spectators. 

“With McLaren bringing cars not seen in years that showcase extraordinary technology Velocity Invitational will try to set a new standard for automotive lifestyle festivals in the United States,” he added at the time.

And in the aftermath of the inaugural event, he said: “We created Velocity Invitational to introduce a new generation of enthusiasts to a hobby that many of us have been involved in for decades. 

“This is the only event in the world which combines the best in food, wine and motorsports. We have been overwhelmed by the positive response from the community and can’t wait to see what the future holds.”
